This article is purported to be about the 50 attorneys general in the 50 states. However, Puerto Rico is included both in the party breakdown and in the table. Shouldn't Puerto Rico be excluded and, if not, shouldn't the other four U.S. territories and commonwealths be added in? They all have attorneys general too... A Stop at Willoughby ( talk) 20:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC) --KEEP If you look at the national AG associations they include all of the territorial AGs. I think all the territories and DC should stay.

On the table and on his page Alabama's Attorney General is listed as a Republican, yet the map shows Alabama as having a Democratic incumbent and is shaded blue. Mississippi's Jim Hood is a Democratic yet the state is listed as having a Republican incumbent and is shaded red. I don't know how to edit maps, but this appears to be a fairly large error and needs to be corrected.-- Joseph Godwin ( talk) 20:53, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
I updated words throughout, but KY turned Red today and Mississippi will in JAN. Does anyone know how to change the map? SDEditor101 ( talk) 00:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Pennsylvania's Attorney General Michelle Henry appears to be a Democrat, as indicated by her personal Wikipedia page. Can someone update the map or clarify, as she was a former Republican but her personal page says she doesn't want to run for re-election and will act apolitically.
The result of the move request was: page moved. Ronhjones (Talk) 22:32, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
State Attorney General → State attorney general — "State attorney general" is not a proper name, so it should not be capitalized. While you do capitalize the formal name of a particular office, e.g., "Attorney General of Alabama", and the title when used before a name, such as "Attorney General Cuomo", you don't capitalize the title when used generically. For example, see User:A Stop at Willoughby's comment above at #Why Puerto Rico?. Rrius ( talk) 00:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
There is a discrepancy on the party affiliation of the Wyoming Attorney General. The in-article list lists a republican, but the map shows a democrat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.28.30 ( talk) 20:16, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Alaska attorney general is a Republican now Abote2 ( talk) 12:18, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
This page ought to say in which states the office of attorney general is created by the constitution of the state, and in which states it is created by ordinary legislation. Michael Hardy ( talk) 21:53, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
I added a whole bunch of information about term limits to the end of the chart, for each state, enhancing what is already there for specific AGs, but it does not tell what the rules are for the state and the same guy is getting rid of it and making all sorts of allegations he had with someone else. I also added a clarification of the term limits in the selection section. They cannot be selected if they are term limited. I also added information about Puerto Rico's secretary of Justice and Hawaii, appointed by Governor I fixed as many were just listed as appointed. SDEditor101 ( talk) 20:49, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
